week 32 in pictures

this is an odd week for pictures… most of the pictures are from sunday. I don’t have any idea why I didn’t take any pictures on monday, tuesday, wednesday or thursday, but I guess it’s okay because I have a ton from sunday…

so, we have sunday: while waiting for the blue angels to fly, layla and micah started watching some people sitting near us who were passing the time playing backgammon. they wound up sitting on their cooler while they watched, having the game explained to them, and getting to roll the dice for the ladies who were playing. they were very sweet to let my kids pester them with all their questions and include them in their game.

everyone else was doing this:

it was somewhere around 95* out, and then we moved from the park out onto the I-90 bridge (it was closed for the show) where it was even hotter on the asphalt. but we figured this was a better place to see the show.

the view of the blue angels WAS pretty darn good.

after we finally got out of there when it was over, sat in traffic to get home, we were SO hot and sweaty. first we filled up about 100 water balloons and threw them at each other, then we sprayed each other with the hose, and then we turned on the slip & slide. it felt awesome.

ginger wanted to get in on the action too. it was actually pretty funny to throw water balloons for her. she couldn’t figure out what kept happening to them. but I took this picture while she was waiting for me to throw a ball for her… LOVE it. I love it so much I blew it up to 8x10 and now I can’t decide if I want to put it in the book or frame it and hang it on the wall…

friday: layla and micah finished up a week of vbs at the church where micah goes to preschool. after it was all over, I tried (in vain) to get a picture of them… this was the best I got. neither wanted to have the picture taken. LOL.

saturday: shane was bored and asked me if he could wash all the windows. I was not going to say no to that! so he spent a good share of the afternoon up on the roof washing windows and skylights and giving his mother a heart attack.
